No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith.

About This Quote

This quote from Saint George, a saint of the Orthodox Church, is an important reminder that faith and faithfulness are necessary to keep the rest of the world from being what it is. Without faith, we would live in a world without magic. We would live in a world where people used technology as a replacement for imagination, where they only relied on science as a means of learning about the world. In such a world, people would have no need of dragons or magic because they would be able to see the world as it actually was.

Faith is also needed to have faithfulness – that is why there are so many stories of people who have been faithful to their spouses through thick and thin. And, without faithfulness, there would be no meaning to being faithful.
